New Moon to Become the #1 Advanced Ticket Seller in History

Since New Moon has started selling tickets on August 31st it has sold more tickets on Fandango than any other movie. The number of advanced ticket sales goes as
follows.

1. New Moon (2009)
2. Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)
3. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (2009)
4. The Dark Knight (2008)
5. Twilight (2008)

New Moon is the year’s most anticipated film. From a recent Fandango survey 98% say that the action in New Moon looks better than the action in Twilight. Ten percent plan on showing up at the premier in costume. New Moon premiers on November 20th.

I think this movie looks more promising than the other Twilight movie but I also could be biased because I think Taylor Lautner, who plays the character of Jacob is very attractive. That might be some reason why the movie is so anticipated as well. I think it is a little ridiculous though that this movie has had more advanced ticket sales then the other movies. Those movies seemed to be less juvenile.
